    New businesses have very few opportunities to make a good impression, and we've been wanting to try this place out. So much so , that we planned our evening for our group around starting here for a couple hours for drinks ... To show open online and not even have the courtesy to post a note or explanation or even when you will "actually" be open ... not a good start as to how customers are likely viewed :( Thur 5:15p EDIT*** Went next door to local shops and restaurants inquiring about the status here at thirst trap ... WELL BEWARE - apparently they've been closed since December, rift and break up in ownership due to business shenanigans... and stealing tips from employees. Basically the ship is going down. Don't waste your time here, give business to places that treat their employees and customers with more respect.

    Finally a nice chill bar in Juanita! So glad we got to try this place a few days back. Nice cocktails on the menu. Loved the ambiance. Typical bar food. Husband got the wings to eat and it was good. Service was good and timely.

    Food and drinks are great. Kinda pricey but the space is really cute. The staff is also very nice and knowledgeable but had to take off a couple stars due to inconsistency with service, wait times, and hours operation. Also, came for a birthday party once and they were so short-staffed, there were no glassware or toilet paper in the bathrooms by midnight.

    I've been watching and waiting for this place to open, and it did not disappoint! Solid vibe walking in - good music, fun lights, couches and table options. Drinks were on point - unique and very nicely balanced. And the food? Delicious! We started with the Burrata - wow, yum. The potato chips are house made and loaded with salt. We then shared house salad and burger with fries - super solid all around. Prices were actually quite reasonable in comparison to other similar spots - we will definitely be regulars!

    Really excited for this new bar in the Juanita area of Kirkland! We came in and sat at the bar and met the owner and bartender, Adam. He told us about some of his super cool, inventive cocktails. My partner said the Almond Roca is one of the best cocktails he's ever had. The piece of candy is even made by Adam's sister! They seem to be still getting the word out, so stop by! Lots of potential.

    A random find turned out to be the best! First of all the name is so catchy it was hard not to want to go. Reading the menu the garden had my wheels turning with the unusual flavors. I asked our bartender, who turned out to be the owner, Adam, if it was like a bloody Mary with the tomato in it. He then informed me he put it through a centerfuge and so it's not thick at all. So I ordered that. I was shocked how it looked. Even more shocked how delicious and refreshing it was. I got to also try a bit of the espresso martini after talking more with Adam about how mind blown I was. He let me know that his espresso martini is clear. If I closed my eyes I would have no idea that it was clear. So many unique drinks on the menu we are definitely going back. The science and creativity Adam puts into his drinks is unique. We are looking forward to the next round!

    We stopped by late on a Thursday night for dessert, drinks and to check it out since it's recently opened. It's a cocktail lounge, not a sports bar as some friends told us and that is great! The owner was running everything during our visit. He was nice, funny and super informative. Lots of unique small bites & drinks. Love that there is a couch/booth area to hang out. The music was a little loud for a Thursday, but it is great to have a place open past 9pm in the area. The owner says there will be a 16 person "speak easy" room and is planning on having DJ/Vinyl nights too. We are excited to see how this place evolves!

    As soon as I came in Zennith helped us at the bar. We came from paddle boarding for 5 hours so extremely hungry and dehydrated, Zennith helped us right away at the bar!! Extremely helpful and patient! We ordered fish & chips and chicken sliders! Food came out fast and warm! On top of that, the food was yummy!! Hands down best fish and chips! But while we waited, she brought us chips and pretzels. It's such a sexy cute vibe! Only come when Zennith is serving, she is absolutely amazing!

    Review just for drinks. Currently a soft open and everything is 25% off. We popped in on a Sunday evening for a night cap and I got the sill Boy, Hubby got the Pineapple old fashioned which came with a small piece of chocolate. Will try this place for its limited menu soon!

    Clarified Espresso Martini
    Nelly N.

    I came here with a few friends last night after having dinner in a neighboring city. I feel like this place is fairly new. Not much staff. The bar was not overly busy when we got there around 9:45p.m. We only ordered drinks, so I can't speak on the food. Nothing really stood out as far as the drink selections. Pretty standard cocktails. I had heard this bar is known for their clarified espresso martini. A friend ordered it and it ended up being the best tasting cocktail of the night. Much stronger than a traditional espresso martini. I ordered the tangerine. It was okay. A little too lemon forward and very tart. Another friend ordered a drink called swipe right (?). Not a good drink at all. Almost puree in flavor. Our waitress was polite and attentive. She seemed to be maybe one of two waiters I saw the whole night. My biggest gripe with this bar is the seating. They have bar seating, tables, and an area with couches and stools. The couches are very low to the ground. The stools are more like ottoman's and are meant to add seats around the table along with the couches. The ottoman's were very uncomfortable. It's truly not an ideal seat. They could use some higher stools and perhaps even a higher couches. We made the most of our night here and enjoyed ourselves, but I definitely would not come back here unless changes were made to the seating and drink selection.

    Fun new spot in Juanita Kirkland. I tried the clarified espresso martini, it was very strong! They have a lot of unique cocktails. We also go the bbq wings and fries. The homemade ranch with the wings was amazing! We sat outside, they have heaters out there which will be nice as it gets later and the inside has a cool vibe with a lounge area, standard tables and a bar. Our server was friendly and helpful!

The flatbreads were so tasty and were a hit but the tomato salad was the secret superhero - not sure where they source those small juicy flavor bombs but they were excellent on the palate!

    Goodness, ordered a steak medium and it came well done. What a shame to waste a wagyu steak. Had to…read moresend it back. Same for my friend. Obviously the person on the grill wasn't trained or wasn't paying attention. Pacing was also a problem. Waited pretty long to order. Then salads came while we were finishing last bites of the appetizer. Then entrees came while I was literally in the middle of my salad. Talk about rushed. That salad would have been good if the shaved parm had been shaved. However, the pieces of parm were huge - really thick. Can't imagine who would think that was a good bite on a salad. The Broccolini was half cooked. I could barely cut the stem with a steak knife. Obviously. I couldn't eat those stems. They did not have a flight of wine that was all reds (i don't drink white wine). So why 4 stars instead of less? The mushroom toast appetizer was fantastic. I shouid have stopped there and would have been happy. The ceasar dressing and large crouton were good, even if the shaved parm was a bust. Once the steak was served to me medium as I'd ordered it, it was delicious and the fries were crispy and went well with the steak. I enjoyed the glass of wine I ordered. I hope they get their act together - such potential!

    Tried Sama during a Yelp experience and ended up bringing home their Grenache 2023 (Raga)…read more Loved that the tasting was done in test tubes--it made it easy to go back and forth and land on something I really loved. And this one stood out right away. Light to medium-bodied, led by bright cherry notes with a subtle hint of spice, and a smooth, easy finish that keeps you going back for another sip. Balanced, elegant, and just bold enough without feeling heavy. Definitely a bottle worth savoring.

We had the whole place to ourselves and sat near the large windows. Elisa gave us time to look through the menu then promptly brought our red flight and explained each wine to us. As a past chemist, I loved the test tube presentation and connection to the winemaker's bio! We also liked having all 5 wines at once to go at our own pace. My order of preference: CDR, Syrah, Grenache, cinsault, cabernet. My partners: Cabernet, Syrah,CDR, Grenache, cinsault. Other things to note.. the music was . I enjoyed reading about the many meanings of SAMA in the menu. The winemaker, Chaz, has a great bio in the menu as well. We had a lovely time. The bottle is their CDR blend which is a Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault blend. I hope they are around for a while!
